[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 981859, member: 8192"] Yes I think we were all off-air Ken. Suzie I'm so sorry about your job. Every best wish for a speedy resolution to your employment problem - Subway would be great - free sandwiches! (or maybe not....) Well I went over to Winton yesterday to help with the grandkids as the new baby had three medical appointments 9.30, 11 and 2.30. Just some small issues to be cleared up with her, nothing major, but she had to see a visiting dr, as well as the baby nurse and then the local gp to get test results. It reached 49 degrees on the verandah of hubby's parents' house. The hottest gusty N wind you could imagine. Brother-in-law recorded 51 on his verandah, 49 out at our station on the big shady verandah. Had to take bubby around with a wet muslin cloth draped over her. The two year old boy played on oblivious to the heat. A few dry storms came up and hubby took our plant to a fire up the road before I got home. Very hard for him to operate it by himself (I drive the vehicle while he hoses). About 10 plants there and it burned onto the highway eventually and they were able to get it out. Not sure how much it burnt, about 3000 acres maybe. As I came along the highway I saw sheep grazing less than a mile from the lead of the fire, not the slightest bit worried.....no sheep were burnt. We're all prepared to head out again this arve, its looking critical once again. Friends near Ballarat have had a bad start to the year.
